This book was so dark- some parts of the plots were horrific, nauseating, awful, I couldn't bear to read. The writing was amazing and captivating, I would read anything by this author. I'm glad to see historical fiction about this, something even I didn't know much about. How disgusting, the xenophobia, racism, hate, engineered and reinforced by policy/law and people with power.
